London, Dec. 4. The French Govern
ment's oertnres to the powers for joint
diplomatic action at lVkin, rccompanied by
a naval demonstration at the treaty ports,
Lave met with a distinct rebuff from the
EnslUli and German Governments. Semi
official Paris telegrams assort that Foreign
Minister liibot made no definite proposals,
but merely deigned to ascertain the views
of the difiercnt powers.
His view differs from the view which the
English Foreign Office takes. Several com
munications have been received at the
Foreign Office through the French Embassy,
jriving French consular reports on the state
of aflairs it. China, and urging that England
Jind France unite to exert pressure at
Pekin. Minister Itibot has had similar
communications with the governments at
Derliu, Itome and Vienna, aud he has pre
sented the position of the Chinese Govern
ment in the worst possible light.
A Ieep Scheme in Russia's Favor.
It needed no special diploir-ntic sagacity
to pcicehc the French Government's game.
ISussia has declared her intention to hold
aloof from any interference, but her Euro
pean ally, acting for her. aims to involve
England in hostile treatment of the Chinese
Government, with vliich, ere long, England
may find it advisable to unite in common
action against a common enemy.
The o". enures of France were intimated
to the Chinese Embassy and were also wired
to Sir.Tohn VaI.shani,"the British Minister
to China, whose cabled reply enabled Lord
Salisbury to tell M. Kibot that there a no
necessity for joint or anv other interference
in China. Sir John AValsham advises in
dependent English action, if anybe required,
tinder an understanding vitti the Pekin
Government.
A committee of the Cabinet, consisting
of Mr. JJalfonr, Lord Ashbourne, Mr.
Goschen and Mr. Jackson, is shaping the
Irish local government bill. Another com
mittee, including Mr. Goschen, Mr. Chap

over by Lord Salisbury, is considering the
proposed English land bill. This system
of Cabinet committees is superseding the
formal Cabinet councils.
All Not llarninny in the Cabinet.
Mr. Goschen and Mr. Chaplin take differ
ent views in regard to the scope of the land
bill, and it is improbable that the measure
will be so expedited as to be ready lor pre
sentation on the meeting of Parliament.
As soon as the House of Commons opens
the opposition will demand iniormation as
to whether the Government will adhere to
the practice established for a century of
dissolving Parliament at the end of the
session, or whether it will insist upon tak
ing full advantage of the septennial act. It
the ministers reluse to state their intention,
the Liberals, under the assent of the leaders,
will carry on obstructive tactics to the fur
thest possible extent.
Mr. Goschen will not promote the bill
giving effect to the gold reserve scheme un
less assured that it will pass without much
opposition, aud the plan will be dropped
unless it meet with general and ready ac
ceptance. It is announced that the Countess of Clan

employment of barmaids that they should
encourage improper advances. In a host of
instances the working hours amounted to

Paris, Dec. 4. The Chinese Minister to
France to-day informed M. Ilibot, Minister
of Foreign Aflairs, that the Government of
China was confident that it would be able to
suppress the present rebellion. The French
Government has taken measures to protect
its interests and citizens in China, and the
Minister of Marine, Vice Admiral Barbey,
has ordered that a gunboat be despatched.
A dispatch from Singapore, one of the
Straits settlements south of the Malay
peninsula, states that the foreign consuls
stationed at Tcin, in the Province of Pe-Chec-Tce,
a city seven miles from Pekin, of
wincli city it is the port, have become so
alarmed at the threatening aspect of affairs,
that they have applied for naval protection.
The British gunboat Firebrand and a
Japanese warship arc at present lying at
Tcin. The Firebrand, however, is but a
small vessel of 4.V tons and carries only four
cuns. She is commanded by Lieutenant
Donnison.
The dispatch adds that the feeling of ani
mosity entertained for foreigners has spread
to the capital, and the natives do not hesi
tate to show their detestation for the
"barbarians," as they term all white people.
Everv day they are becoming more hostile,
and it is a common practice for them to
stone Europeans as they pass along beneath
the citv walls.
A dispatch from Brussels says: An in
terview was held to-day with Dr. Van
Aertschlaer, rector of the Belgian missions
in Xorth China, who is at present in this
city. He stated that the Mongolian prince,
who is leported to have been killed by the
rebels, was converted to Christianity by the
Belgian missionaries. He had just rejoined
the station when the insurrection broke
out.
Dr. Van Aertschlaer further stated that
he did not believe the members of the Tem
perance League were guilty of committing
the outrages which have been laid to them.
The league, be said, was composed of
devout men, who were very friendly
to the missionaries. It was far more
probable that the massacre had been
committed by the Water Lily Society, a
secret organization which the Government
is making every effort to suppress. Many
members of this society had professed Chris
tianity for political reasons.

M. Hubbard, the member of the Chamber
of Deputies who on Wednesday last gave
notice in the Chamber that he
intended to question the Govern
ment in regard to the attitude of
the Catholic Bishops, and to demand that
the Government notify the Vatican of the
termination of the concordat at the end of
the year, said he did not expect the success
of his interpellation. He" declared, how
ever, that he counted upon gaining CO seats
at the next election, and with these votes
he expected to have his views adopted by
the Chambers.
Ueplyingas to the International Peace
Congress recently held in Rome, M. Hub
bard, who attended the sessions, snid he
had found a better feeling toward France
spreading in Italy. The Vatican, he de
clared, is the greatest menace to European
peace, in that it will provoke an interna
tional conflict in the hope of regaining the
temporal power of the Pope. M. Hubbard
closed the interview bv saving: "We de
sire a complete reconciliation between
France and Italy on the basis of equality
and reciprocal confidence."

A CHASE OF 1EN THOUSAND JULES,
The Itecord Mado l)y a Car Tracer for the
Sew Tork Central K lilroad.
St. Louis fllobe-Deinocnt.
One of the best jobs in car tracing that
was ever done in this country was com
pleted about three weeks ago by a car tracer
of the Xew York Central. That road had
lost a car, and sent out the tracer to look it
up. He followed it west to Pittsburg, then
to Cincinnati, then to Chicago and from
there to St. Louis. Here he lost track of
it, but alter some search found it had been
in au accident and had been repainted. By
some oversight the number had been
changed, but taking the new number, he
chased the car to Kansas City, where he
found it had been loaded and sent on to
Galveston. To Galveston he went, and
there found that after taking a fresh load
the car had gone to San Francisco. He
went after it, but on reaching San Francisco
found the car had gone back to Galveston.
By this time his blood was up
and he made up his mind to find that car if
it took the balance of his natural life. So
he went back to Galveston, and, to make a
long story short, followed that car to New
Orleans, to Mobile, to Atlanta, to half a
dozen places in Florida, then back to Xew
Orleans, to Galveston again, and thence to
Kansas City, and from there to Chicago.
He had now been on the hunt for over three
months, but had got so close to the runa
way that just as he came into Chicago by
one road the car left it over another on its
way to Buffalo. Its load was consigned to
that point, and when he ascertained the
fact he telegraphed on to have the car held,
snd took the next train for the East. At
Buffalo he came up with the car and caught
his first sight of it. He had traveled al
most constantly for over 13 weeks, travers
ing a distance bf 10,000 or 12,000 miles.

During the Atlantic racing season, which

record for both ways, viz., 5 days, 16 hours
and 31 minutes from Quccnstown to Xew
Yoik, and 5 days, 21 hours and 25 minutes
from New York to Qneenstown. Her great
est average speed is 20.35 knots per hour,
which is equivalent to 23.43 statute miles
per hour. It is not probable that there will
be any appreciable advance on this speed
till the season of 18:13, when it is expected
that seeral new flyers will be put on the
Atlantic for the passenger traffic to the
World's Fair.
A New Seamless Boat.
There is a growing demand for the scam
less boat. This boat is pressed out of an
ingot of steel and shaped by hydraulic
power, and it fulfils all the requirements of
an ordinarv boat in a remarkably ingenious
manner. It is claimed for these boats that
tbey will last twice as long as wooden ones,
that there is less danger of their capsizing,
and that they are less liable to be affected
bv ciianses of climate. The method bv
which the seamless boat is constructed is k .

THE
ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
Where the Best Examples for Dura
bility Are to Be Found.
MODERN AND ANCIENT HIGHWAYS.
Thoroughfares That Have Stood Ages of
' Wear and Weather.
SOLID FOUNDATIONS USED ETERI WHERE
The question as to how to make the best
roads is one that is becoming important in
various communities, whose inhabitants
have awakened to the necessity for im
proved thoroughfares. It is one of those
questions which can only be answered by
those who have had practical experience
and whose works have successfully stood
the test of years. If only that kind of road
which has been proven to last the longest
is to be taken as an example, then there are
no examples in the United States. The
searcher after information upon this subject
must perforce go abroad, for it is there
that the best roads are to be found.
Practically there are no roads in South
America worth considering. With the ex
ception of the highways built by the Incas
2.000 years ago, there is no recorded effort
on the part of anv government to improve
transportation ami lessen its cost, in .Brazil
there are no country roads, and but very
little can be said of the city streets. Com
munication between towns "where there are
no railways is by water or by bridle paths
on donkeys, mule's, or horseback. To go in
3 carriage of any description any number of
miles into the interior is a thing unheard of
and unknown, for two very good reasons.
First, there are no roads for a carriage, and
in the second place, there are no carriages.
Some idea of the difficulties and vexatious

delays in traveling in this country may be
obtained when it is known that to cover a
distance some 200 miles less than from New
York to Chicago, it takes 30 davs days of
discomfort not only in the actual traveling,
but also in eating, drinking and sleeping.
Primitive Highways in Venezuela.
With one exception there are no roads in
Venezuela. This exception is a mere dirt
road kept up in a primitive way, and runs
over the mountains from La'Guayra to
Caracas. The old Spanish road between the
two cities, now long abandoned, is a curious
and interesting relic of the old colonial
times, and suggests the idea that perhaps
the aborigines of this country had in the
Spaniards quite as severe task makers as
those that weighed the straw and taled the
brick for the oppressed Hebrew. All of
this wide highway was well paved with
stones set on edge and much of it is still in
a good state. The scenery along the line of
this old way is exceptionally fine, and the
Spanish cavalier upon arriving at the top of
the mountain (9,000 feet) and viewing the
beautiful valley and citv of Caracas at
his feet, mfist have felt quite as contented
as the famous Hebrew who gazed westward
across the Jordan upon the country re
served for his people.
In the British West Indies macadamized
roads are found. Thus, in Antigua there
are 140 miles of well constructed roads.
The stones used are mainly hard crystalline
limestone, flint and obsidian, to which may
be added trap rock. The stone for the road
bed is broken up very nne and mixed up
with grit. In constructing these roads all
the surface mold is torn Off. no matter how
deep it may go. Then the bed is made of
the broken stone, care being taken to see
that there are no pieces larger than two
inches in diameter. After this Is com
pleted the road is "metaled" to a uniform
depth of six inches, and this final stratum
of stone is covered with grit, sand and
gravel as a binder. Once the roadway is
finally completed its endurance is very
great.' It is solid and firm, never dustr in
dry weather or muddy in wet As an in
stance showing the saving in cost through
good roads the simple fact that whereas be
fore the roads here were made, sugar was
worth S45 a hogshead, it is now sold at 40,
speaks for itself.
Women Employed In Slaking; Roads.
In Jamaica the macadam system of road
building is used altogether, and the stage
routes throughout the island, though used
by the peasantry to an unusual degree, are
in many places quite equal to many of the
trotting tracks in the United States. AH
the stone used, which is broken to about
the standard size of "small stove" coal in
the United States, is so reduced by women,
who break it piece by piece with a steel
hammer, sitting with a pile of bowlders in
front ot them, and olten woricing tor hours
without moving from one spot. This ma
terial is then taken, usually in trays carried
on the heads of women and girls,to the road
and placed wherever the overseer directs.
Some of these women become so expert that
thev can be left for several davs to go on
with the work undirected. In this way the
Jamaicans have built over 500 miles of
road, circumscribing and intersecting the
island and affording an ease of travel equal
to that in Pullman cars in the United
States.
If examples aTe to be taken from the
roads of the present century, then the best
are to be found in "Europe, where many
years ago it was demonstrated that economy
was as necessary through good highways to
the markets as it was in the improved
methods of farming. In France, lor in
stance, when the people turned to agricul
tural pursuits in earnest, they built roads
which are to-day competitors of the rail
ways, owing to their availtbility in any
and all kinds of weather. In that country,
when the outline of the road is fixed upon,
the profile of the length is exactly ..marked
so as to evaluate the earthworks and the
works of art The transverse profile of a
road generally affects the following form:
(n) Sidewalk, (b) Roadway, (c) Embank
ment. (d) Ditch.
How French Roads Are Made.
The greater part of roads in France are
macadamized; it is only in town that paving
stones are used. The layer of broken stones
composing the road is from 12 to 18 inches
thick. This layer is placed directly on
ground that has been well beaten. In ex
ceptional cases a layer of sand intervenes or
even stones of a certain magnitude in order
to facilitate the drainage. Tiie mnterials
destined for the making of the roads are
brought from the nearest quarries. In order
that the full amount contracted for may be
delivered, the stone must be heaped" in
angular piles of prismatic shape and xed
dimensions. These heaps, placed at a given
distance from one another, ate afterward in
spected by an official inspector and must in
all cases fit exactly beneath a skeleton
frame carried by him. The stone is usually
marble, flint stone or gravel. It must be of
the best quality and cleansed from all
foreign s'ubstances. It must be broken
so that each piece may pass through
a ring 2 inches in diameter. It is then
spread evenly over the road, the interstices
being carefully filled in with smaller pieces
and particles, so that the whole Js smooth
and free from abrupt eminences 'or depres
sions. A steam roller then crushes and fur
ther evens the whole, after which a superfi
cial layer of clay and earth completes the
work. "But when completed it is not left to
take care of itself. The niaCadam is main
tained by constantly filling up anv slight de-

pressions with the small broken stone in or
der to keep the level and to favor the regu
lar use of the road. When the road is worn
down quite thin an entirely new bed of
stone is spread over it and pressed down and
worked in "by means of heavy rollers.
Peculiarities of Bavarian Highways.
In Bavaria the highways generally aver
age 23 feet in width, and have upon either
side footways varying from 3 to S feet. The
foundation of these roads consists
of hard stones, which are never
affected by the weather. They
are separately set one by one, points up
ward, and are of a length of eight inches.
Upon these is placed a layer of small pieces
of basalt or Jura limestone of a thickness
of about six inches. Small piles of these
stones for repairing purposes are constantly
kept upon the sides of the highways. The
work is done in the spring orantumn, when
the ground i soft and moist. The roadway
is constantly dressed until it becomes per
fectly smooth. It is bordered on citner
side by what are called "frame stones."
They are very hard and are not influenced
by the atmosphere. Together with the foot
ways the profile of the road is about as fol
lows: BM
(a) Itoadwav. (b) Frame stone, (c) Foot
walk. (U) Ditch.
The Best Examples of Thoroughfares.
In no country in the world are the roads
built with more care and scientific skill
than in Switzerland. Thev originated with
the Roman engineers in the last century be
fore Christ. Constructed in the first in
stance for the march of armies and the postal
service of the empire, they were promptly
occupied bv the commerce of the country.
It is true tliat in the breaking up of the
empire, they fell out of repair and finally
into ruin, but when the modern communi
ties of Europe were definitely constituted
they were restored. The charncteristie'nnd
essential features of these highways is the
substructure of stone. It was never omit
ted either in the ancient or the modern
roads, except where the natural foundation
was of solid rock. "Without an adequate
foundation there is no durable road" was a
principle which received universal recog
nition. Xo matter with what care and ex
pense the surface is treated, the result will
be swift ruin unless the super
structure is properly supported from
beneath. On the other hand,
given the foundation, the surface may be
treated effectively almost anywhere" and
adopted to any use. It may be formed of
common soil if nothing better is available.
The worst surface with a good foundation
affords a better road than the costliest sur-

face without a foundation. This Is prob
ably the most important lesson to be ob
tained from European experience in road
making.
Probably the best examples.are the roads
of the Romans. As is well known, no
greater builders of roads have left their
mark upon the annals of time; none have
left more forcible examples ot road con
struction meant for durability. .,,

A LECTUBE ON TEA.
Sir Andrew Clark Tells London Hospital
Students How to Make It.
Pall Mall Budget.
Here is an extract from an interesting
lecture delivered by Sir Andrew Clark the
other day to the students of London Hos
pital: "Tea is a blessed beverage. I do
not know what I should do without it But
there is tea and tea; and one of the teas
which I have in my mind is the representa
tion of all that is physiologically wicked.
I go about town a good deal holding con
sultations here and there, and about 5
o'clock when I get into a place the lady of
the house will say to me, 'Sir Andrew, you
look so tired, do let me give you a cup of
tea.' I say, 'Thank you very much.' But
the tea has stood for half an hour; and she
remarks, 'I know you do not like it strong,
Sir Andrew,' and then she puts about a
tablespoonful of tea into the cup and fills it
up with water. Now, I call it positive
cruelty to give tea like that to anvbod v. and
I hope you gentlemen will always set your
face against such a beverage.
Tea to be useful should be, first of all,
black China tea the Indian tea which is
being cultivated has become so powerful in
its eflects upon the nervous system that a
cup of it taken early in the morning, as
many people do, so disorders the nervous
system that those who take it actually get
into a state of tea intoxication, and it
produces a form of nerve disturbance which
is most painful to witness. If you want to
have, either for yourselves or for your
patients, tea which will not injure 'and
which will refresh, get black China tea,
putting in the right measure the old-fashioned
teaspoonful for each person, and one
for the blessed pot. Then pour on briskly
boiling water, and within five minutes you
must pour it off again, or it will becomo
wicked instead of good. Let this patient,
therefore, have half a pint of milk and
and water or cocoatina, or half a pint of
tea, a la Clark, if you please."

Washington Star.1
Manatees are commonly caught with nets,
which are stretched across rivers near their
mouths, where the beasts are expected to
pass. The latter get entangled in the
meshes and, being unable to rise to the sur
face for breath, are partly suffocated. To
the nets floats are attached and the fisher
men follow the floats, gathering in the prey
in due time. Thus caught the animals are
placed in "crawls" and fed until it is time
to kill them. Their carcasses afford a profit

.cleaned being worth $100. The skin, if
taken off whole, can be sold foralike amount.

palatable, resembling veal in flavor. In
fact, to the South American Indian the
beast is a mine of wealth. The native sub

its oil, makes shields and ropes from its

rsr-ECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Mechanicsburo, Dec 4. This borough
was visited at 1:32 o'clock this afternoon by
a cyclone that left in its track ruin and deso
lation. The crash came so sudden that the
poople for a moment were stunned, but as
soon as they recovered and looked out they
realized the magnitude of the danger that
had threatened them.
The Methodist church was struck from
the rear, and staved in with such tremend
ous force that the pulpit furniture and ceil
ing is an entire wreck, and what was left
unruined by the storm was mined by the
pouring rain. Franklin Hall was unroofed
and the bnilding splintered. In the third
floor of .this building the Masons have a fine
lodge room, the paraphernalia of which is a
total wreck.
A large double three-story building on
Mam and Arch streets, owned by Dr. H. G.
Leas, had the third story clipped off as
slick as if done by an artisan. Adjoining
resided Christian Long. Mrs. Long was in
the sitting room sewing when the crash
came. She barely had time to escape, a fly
ing brick striking her on the shoulder.
This house is a wreck from attic to cellar,
carrying with it all the comforts of a happy
home.
Another Church Among tbe Rnini.
The Church of God had two front pillars
blown down, and the rear of the residence
of ex-Sheriff Tottcn was badly wrecked.
At the residences of David Brindle and O,
B. Zug, on East Main street, the tin roofs
were curled and dropped in the street.
Higher up the street the resi
dence of Mrs. Coover was splintered
so badly that it will have to be rebuilt.
Across the street is the three-story brick
residence of Mrs. Bare. The third story
was blown into the street. A few doors
above is the National Hotel, a large three
story building. The tin roof over the en
tire building was lapped up and carried into
tne yard. Across lrom tne note', is tne
house of Jacob Overdeer. The seconi
story was badly stoved in, damaging the
entire house. Higher up, the stable of Dr.
Hummel was caueht and turned topsv
turvey; also the stable of George Coover,
on South High street.
At Holler's spoke works the roof of the
large factory was blown off and the glnnt
smoke stack blown down, which carried
with it the ruins of the boiler house and
one of the engines.
A Number of Buildings Wrecked.
Christian Swartz, of Allen street, had a
double loss. Tha top story of his residence
was badly wrecked, and a stable in the rear
dismantled. The residence of Miss Lizzie
Long, on the same street, suffered the loss
of a chimney and rear building. At tho
industrial works of Hauck & Comstock a
very high and substantial smokestack suc
cumbed to the force of the cyclone, and fall
ing on the roof destroyed it.
The blacksmith shop of John Stansfield
received the shock just as it had spent its
force. The shop leans so badly that it will
require resetting and rebuilding.
The storm was the severest in the history
of this borough, and its loss can be safely
placed at $50,000. There was terrible ex
citement on the streets all afternoon. The
services of the firemen was called into requi
sition to protect the citizens against the
tottering walls. Business was atronce sus
pended for the entire afternoon.
Great toss In the Cumberland Valley.
A special telegram from Carlisle says:
The fiercest storm of wind and rain the
Cumberland Valley had known for many
years was experienced this afternoon, with
resultant loss to property of over $100,000.
The storm first came from the southeast,
and then veered around finally, after spend
ing its fury, coming directly from the west
Throughout the afternoon the rain fell in
torrents, and the streets were flooded as to
become practically impassable. Through
out the storm the wind blew with unprece
dented violence. The roof of the Phila
delphia and Reading freight depot at Ship
pensburg was torn from its fastenings. Tne
windows in the overall factory were
crushed in, and the roof of the establish
ment carried into the street, several people
near the place having narrow escapes. The
township s:hoolhome was unroofed, and the
Western Maryland roundhouse completely
wrecked, though as. yet no loss of liie is re
ported. In Carlisle the damage was heavy. A
new biick house owned by ex-Constable
Eberly was blown down, and two other
framcbuildings wrecked. Trees were up
rooted and fences blown down, and
pedestrians suffered greatly, several minor
injuries being reported from flying timbers.
Great damage is also reported from the
country districts. In Waynesboro the
Landis Tool Works were partially wrecked
by the wind, and the Webster schoolhouse
was completely demolished. This building
fortunately was empty at the time. At the
upper end of the valley, in the country
districts, the wind swept with the fnry of a
tornado. Barns were caught up by the
wind and strewn all over the fields. Crops
were destroyed, and loss and suffering is re
ported from every side, as the storm came
on with but little warning. Most of the
railroad wires are blown down, and, but a
few commercial lines are left standing, and
they are being constantly interrupted. The
big" warehouse at Shippensburg is reported
to-night as being completely unroofed, and
many thousand bushels of grain are exposed
to the destroying rain. Of the injured,
George Wilson, an employe of the ware
house, is probably the worst, he being
struck in the back and hurt internally by
a flying plank. The exact loss will not be
known until to-morrow.

the damage wrought. All the poles on
First avenue, from Twenty-sixth street to
Thirty-ninth street went over with a crash,
catching, as iu a net, every vehicle that was
on the street, There were two poles to a
block, and they fell directly across the
street. Four or five horse cars were caught
under the debris, but only one was dam
aged. It had 30 persons in it, and had got
to Thirtieth street when the crash came.
The rear hood .was crushed down, the dash
bent, and Conductor Charles Smith was
slightly injured.
Between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth
streets two lads were driving a single horse
to a top wagon. The wires fell all around
and above them, crushing in the ton of the
wagon. It took the neighbors half an hour
to get the boys and horse out.
At Thirty-first street four persons had a
narrow escape. They were on, a truck.
Thomas Richardson, standing on the corner,
called to them to jump, just in time for
them to escape a pole that crushed down
the truck. Fortunately the, hour was not
one when many persons or trains had busi

MONET VALUE OF A POEM.
Andrew Lang Once Received More Than Ho
Thought HI Work Was Worth.
Pall Mall Budget.!
What is the precise value in pounds ster
ling of a poem by Mr. Andrew Lang? The
query is suggested by an article on "Poetry
and Money," in the current number of the
New York Independent. It seems that Mr.
Taylor, the founder of America (now merged
in another paper), spent money without
stint in securing contributions for bis early
numbers from many distinguished writers.
He knew nothing whatever, says Mr.
Thompson, who tells the tale, about "the
equilibrium between moner and manu
scripts," and in support of this statement he
prints the following note from Mr. Lang:
Gentlemen, I have received your cheque
for 13, which I venture to think too large;
and I will, thurefore.send you another piece
of verse (when I write a pleco), or of prose,
for which I will ask you to bo kind enough
to send no payment.
"Mr. Lang was as good as his word," pro
ceeds Mr. Thompson. "Ho will pardon tho
use of his note here as illustrative of the
only case on record where Mr. Taylor's
generosity was not taken advantage of by
writers to whom he applied for special con
tributions." Among the names of writers
who did "take advantage" of a good mar
ket at its "top figure" are given those of
James Russell Lowell, Charles Dudley
Warner, Julian Hawthorne, Frank R.
Stockton and other mora or less distin
guished men and women.
Mr. Thompson asks whether 13 is too
much money for a poem by Mr. Andrew
Lang, or "for that matter, by any poet of
world-wide reputation?" A hard question,
truly. "Were he a lawyer as well up in
the Temple of Justice, as he is a literary
man distinguished in journalism and book
writing," adds the writer, "the time of his
that it takes to write a poem would, if re
quired by a client, be worth probably 10
times 13. Why should a publisher think
this smaller sum so enormous when de
manded by a poet of world-wide fame?"
The time required to make a poem of three
or four ordinary stanzas would, Mr. Thomp
son thinks, be at least two weeks. But say
half that period, and 52 poems a year would
bring Mr. Andrew Lang the miserable an
nual Balary, for a poet, of 678. "Our
poets doubtless might turn a penny by dig
ging post holes while the poems are Deing
generated in their imaginations. If there
is a poet in the world, however, who ought
in poetic justice to be forced to dig post
holes at $1 50 a day, it is Andrew Lang,
for having written that note saying that a
poem which he thought good enough for
publication over his name was not worth
?65.
THE SHABES SO SITE.
An Old Seaman Takes Herman Oelrlchs to
Task on His Recent Statement.
"Old Pedro," of the Seaman's Home,
Boston, apropos of the statement of Her
man Oelrich's that sharks could not bite,
says: "I heard it read in the paper that
a man uptown says sharks won't bite. He
was a landsman as said it, of course, or he
wouldn't have made any such mistake.
Sharks won't bite, indeed? Well, I can
tell him that they will, 'cause I seen 'em do
it. I seen a shark clip off a man's leg as
slick as you please, right off Marblehead,
and it wasn't more than 15 years ago, either.
I seen a fellow have a tussle with a man
eater right down off Barnegat, and the man
lost a hand and a chunk of his side. This
man what said sharks wouldn't bite men
claimed to have jumped into a school of 'em,
but I guess he dreamed that.
"A shark is cowardly, of course, when he's
alone, but if there's two or three of 'em
about you take mv advice and don't go fool
ing with 'cm. They'd fight a gunboat if
they was riled, and I once see five of as big
sharks as you ever heard of jump right up
out of the water at a five-ton smack. They
bites in Southern waters more than they do
up here, maybe, but they bites Up here just
the same, and if that man what claims to
to know so much will take the advice of a
seaman of more than 50 year, as has seen
over 20 fellows eat up or mangled by sharks,
he won't jump inter a school of 'em any
more, 'less they're stuffed."

The last Opportunity "Under the Five-Dollar
Rate for Medicine and Treatment
This Period Furnishes Positively tho
last Chance to Those Who Desire
to Avail Themselves of the Five-Dollar
Rate There Will Be No Farther Ex
tensionPatent Medicines Will Not
Cnre Catarrh.
One thing should bo clearly and distinctly
stated at this time. This 19 positively and
unequivocally tho last opportunity under $5
treatment. Patients who desire to take
treatment under thi3 offer must avail them
selves of It at once. There will be no further
extension In time. Srs. Copelnnd, Hall and
Byers bavo sought toglvo all an opportunity
of availing thomselves of this merely nomi
nal rate. They have extended tho time three
times, and this Is the last period In which
the offer holds good. All patients being
under treatment, or placing themselves un
der treatment before January 1, will be at
the rate of $5 a month until cured.
The cure of catarrh requires (First.) A
patient who lias the judgment, common
aonso and patience to place hlmsolf under a
regular, systematic and scientific conrse of
treatment. (Second.) A physician who
understands the treatment of the disease,
has special skill, special experience, special
apparatus, special remedies and gives
special caro and attention to this disease,
who Is in fact a genuine specialist. Tho
popular Impression that catarrh Is Incurable
comes from tho fact that It lias only been
within recent years that skillful physicians
gavo their wholo time and attention to this
disease. Catarrh fs both a local and consti
tutional disease, requires both local treat
ment and constitutional remedies. Patent
medicines never did and never will cure it.
WITHOUT DODBT.
Mr.W. H. Black Under local and Con
stitutional Treatment Combined, Is To
Day a Perfectly Well Woman.
"I used to think when I read so much of
Drs. Copeland and Hall that the reports ot
their cures must be exaggerated, but after
my own experience I know that every word
spoken for them was true, and I can say
with others who have preceded me that they
afle without doubt the best specialists in
tho city." The speaker was ilrs. W. II.
Black, wife of the well-known contractor,
who resides at No. 1 Inwood avenue, ase
End.
Mrs. W. IT. Black, Inwood avenue, Mast End.
Continuing, she said: "My catarrhal
trouble began years ago, but never became
very serious until within the last year. Ever
since my trouble began I have been an
noyed with headaches, stopped up nostrils,
ringlnsr in ears, bad tasto in month, dark
spots dancing before my eyes and dropping
of mucus into my throat.
"Last winter, like many others, I bad a
bad spell of 'La Grippe,' and since that time
my case took a more aggravated form. Mv
throat was sore and swollen so much so that
I could seldom speak above a whisper. Then
there was a dry and tickling sensation in my
throat which caused me to cough a great
deal, especially at night. I had pains all
throngh my chest, but more severe m tho
region of my heart and nnder my shoulder
blades. I had shortness of breath and pal
pitation of the heart. I was convinced that
my longs were affected and I feared con
sumption. '
"Along with my other troubles I expe
rienced a burning sensation in my stomach,
and also a feeling of fullness and heaviness
across It. My appetite was very poor, and
what I ato did me but littlo good.
"I became discouraged. Life was a burden
to me. I did not think I could live a great
while in this condition.
"I had read of tho cures pertormed by Drs.
Copeland and Hall, and, knowing that they
had an extensive practico and believing
their metnods of treatment to be the best, I
concluded to try them. I am glad that I so
aeciaeo, tor unuer tncir treatment all
symptoms have disanpe.ired, and to-day I
feel perfectly well. I know tliat I am cured."
toe offices of drs. copelasd ato hall axd
w. a nyisits consolidated.
A few days since occurred an event In our
medical circles or greater and moro far
reaching importance than any other that
has ever taken place In this city. We
refer to the consolidation of the well and
widely known firms of Drs. Copeland & Hall,
of 66 Sixth avenue, and the equally -n ell
known Dr. iV". C. Byers of 421 Penn avenue.
Theso three gentlemen have beyond ques
tion or dispute ten times as many patients
ns any other three physicians in the city,
and an acquaintancennd reputation in Pitts
onrjj and Allegheny, and throughout this
and adjoining States, equaled by none.
The ofllces of this new establishment are
to bo located in tbe commodious and sm
cions building at 66 Sixth avenue, so lone
and favorably known as the headquarters of
Drs. Copeland and Hall.
A Plain Story.
Mr. S. Y. McFarland, Sewickley
"Mr trouWe dare linck about tlireo yean,"
pays Mr. McFurland, "but got much worse
after :in attack of tho grip last spring, audi
have been a sufferer over since, until finally
I became considerably alarmed about my
condition, so rapidly did 1 decline In flch
and strongth, mid I glndlv yielded to the ad
vice of my friend, Mr. W. II. Schlnmpf, to
consult a specialist in throat and lung
troubles. He recommended Dr. Iiyersvery
highly, as ho and. several members ofhi-t
family had received successful treatment
from this phjsician.
"I was extremely sensitive to colds in nil
seasons of the year, keeping my head
stopped up and my nostrils filled with tho
catarrhal accumulations sothatl was forced
to breathe through my mouth. There was a
constant dropping into my throat.and every
morning it would toko an hour's hawking
and spitting to get my throat cleared. After
n time my eyes and ears became affected.
My eyesight became weak and blurred and
I had a constant roaring in my ears. I would
get spells of shortness of breath and a full,
eavv feeling in my stomach. I lost flesh
rapidly; had a miserable, weak, uncomfQrt
able, nervous feeling, and my health was
completely broken down.
"Yon nsk for the lesu
esults of Dr. Bvers'
treatment; well, they have been gieater
than I cyer hoped for. At the end of tho
second month I had gained ton pounds in
weight, and to-day, after four months' treat
